Single-use Plastics Ban

All Queensland businesses must stop supplying banned single-use plastic items once the ban begins on Wednesday 1 September 2021, unless they are an exempt organisation.

Organisations that will no longer be able to provide a banned item include restaurants, cafes, bars, takeaway food shops, party suppliers, supermarkets, packaging suppliers, market stalls, not-for-profit organisations (including charities and community groups), online stores and many more.

If you have leftover banned plastic items, do not bin them, there is now a solution to ensure these items do not go to waste. 

The Great Plastic Rescue is an initiative that collects those banned plastic items and guarantees to get them recycled. Register through the link below. You will receive instructions on where to donate your excess items. 

To register, please visit thegreatplasticrescue.com.au.

Council has received feedback from the business community that there is a demand for increased provision in locally delivered training, across many industry sectors within the Shire. 

The purpose of this session is for TAFE Queensland to meet with interested community members and gain a greater understanding of the training needs within the Shire, now and into the future.

Wine and Cheese Night 

Friday 27 August 2021 saw a Wine and Cheese night at the Herbert River Museum and Gallery. 

This event was to celebrate the digital restoration of historical photographs. The images depict important historical scenes and events of the Herbert River district.  This project was supported by Council through a successful RADF Grant. 

22 photos were successfully restored and copied digitally, printed and mounted ready for display. The design and printing of postcards was also produced through this grant.

Congratulations to Ann Vardanega and local volunteers for taking a step back in time to assist with restoring and showcasing pieces of history at the Herbert River Museum and Gallery.

RADF provides funding to successful applicants for up to 70% of the total project cost. 

The Regional Arts Development Fund is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland.
